We're pretty heavily invested in Easybuild (and Lmod). It has simplified our world as we're maintaining multiple versions of _lots_ of different tools, are super-liberal about installing requested tools, and tend to be pretty aggressive about deploying new releases. It does add another layer (the easyconfigs), but there's a huge library of existing configs so you may not need to dig into those too much.
